Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they remain under pressure and often contain chemicals. Without proper disposal, they can pose risks to people and the environment.

Examples of potential hazards include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can discharge freezing gas that causes cold burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate skin, eyes, and breathing
✔️ Cylinders may explode if damaged or mishandled

Yes Waste carries out fire extinguisher disposal across Leatherhead with strict safety procedures, ensuring all disposals comply with UK hazardous waste regulations.
